Zelestra has announced two separate solar power purchase agreements in Texas within a two-day window, underlining the growing appetite for renewable energy among major technology companies.

On July 28, 2026, the company revealed that Tesla signed a PPA for 140 megawatts of solar capacity from a Texas project. The following day, Zelestra said it secured financing for a 176-megawatt solar installation in Texas, with Meta as the off-taker.

The back-to-back announcements highlight how large tech firms are increasingly turning to direct renewable energy contracts to power their data centers and other operations. Both PPAs are located in Texas, a state with a robust competitive electricity market that has become a hub for corporate renewable procurement.

Neither Tesla nor Meta commented on the agreements beyond the statements issued by Zelestra. Financial terms of the PPAs were not disclosed.
